...music of the Roche sisters is startling, lacerating and amusing, pretty enough to sing along with, sly enough to linger. It restores a personal, lyric dimension to folk music, cuts through the smugness and self-absorption that have characterized it for too long. The Roches share a kind of skeptical innocence that is delicate but far from fragile. Maggie and Terre Roche flirted with fame once before and have logged a fair portion of time in the psychic danger zone. "We went so far out there/ Everybody got scared," Terre Roche wrote in one song...
...wonder, since we have only five minutes, if I might make two observations. One of them is that this meeting is, I hope, an opportunity to share just how frustrating and difficult a situation we confront, where we all share very deeply a sense of outrage against a whole set of practices which are deeply inhumane. But nonetheless, the situation is very difficult. One of the difficulties, of course, is that the ultimate step of divestment, to give up the threat of real penalty to a corporation, is not necessarily that at all.

...African bonds, treasury or parastal, or security rands, both of which the world market commonly discounts at 25 to 40 per cent.

Having inherited that position of respect, he now rotates cattle guard among the families, collects taxes, presides over quarrels, grants divorces and mediates disputes. He is entitled to eight acres of land, two more than the six other members of his kraal (family group...
...surge of big money has made seven drivers millionaires, and even Neil Bonnett, who finished eighth in earnings last year, totted up $155,875 (which, as is customary, he had to share with the owner of his car). In 1978 Yarborough won a record $530,751, and his total was up to $101,615 after the first eight races this year. In addition to his 50% share of the winnings, Yarborough earns an estimated $250,000 a year from personal appearances, endorsements and royalties from souvenirs bearing his image (T shirts, ashtrays, place mats, coffee mugs). The owner of Yarborough...
